Frequently Asked Questions
Is the red polka dot too bold for business wear?
Not at all. The dots are small and tonally restrained — they add quiet character without compromising the tie's formality. It reads as confident, not loud.
What shirts pair best with this tie?
A crisp white shirt is the classic choice. A light blue shirt creates a softer, more modern register. Avoid heavily patterned shirts; the polka dot needs visual space.
Why choose a 3-fold construction over a standard lined tie?
A tre pieghe tie has no internal canvas — its body comes from the silk itself, folded three times. The knot sits with more natural movement, the drape is softer, and the construction is a hallmark of Italian handcraft.
Is this tie made in Italy?
Yes. The silk is woven in Como, Italy, and the tie is cut and hand-finished by Lorenzi Como — a house rooted in Italian silk tradition since 1895.
Care
This piece is crafted from pure silk or silk satin and finished by hand. To preserve its drape, lustre and shape over time:
- Dry clean only is recommended
- Avoid machine washing or soaking in water
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
- If needed, steam gently or iron on very low heat on the reverse side, avoiding direct pressure on hand-finished edges and seams
- After use, let the piece rest flat, loosely folded or gently rolled, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
- Do not store it tightly compressed, to protect the fabric and the hand-rolled details
With the right care, the fabric will keep its depth, and the piece will age with quiet character.

3 folds or 5 folds
3 folds - the classic Italian construction. Silk folded three times on itself: fluid drape, defined knot, soft structure. The tie you'll wear most.
5 folds - the rarer craft. Five folds, no interlining: the tie falls by the weight of silk alone. Fuller at the knot, more alive in movement. For those who seek the sartorial detail.
Both are hand-stitched in our Como atelier. Request either one by writing to us.
